Control Function between the Unit
and External Component
You can enable the control functions between the unit
and external devices using the terminals below. Special
devices or cable connections are necessary to enable the
functions. For more information about preparation, contact
the specialized stores.
RS232 port
Use the port for connection with a commercially available
integrated control system that can enable home
automation. Some integrated control systems provide a
centralized operation with a single touch panel controller
in order to control audio and video home appliances
and security devices together. For more information
about adopting an integrated control system, contact the
specialized stores.
IR jack
If you use a multiroom remote control kit such as Xantech
and Niles with this jack, you can operate the unit with the
remote controller even when you are in a separate room, or
operate the unit with the remote controller even if its remote
control sensor is difficult to see. You can also connect
a device with the unit and operate it with the remote
controller. For more information about adopting a multiroom
remote control kit, contact the specialized stores.

12V TRIGGER OUT jack
You can enable power link operation when you connect
the unit and an external device such as power amplifier
equipped with 12V trigger input jack. When the desired
input is selected on the unit power link operation will be
activated with a control signal of maximum 12V/150mA
output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT A jack, or maximum
12V/25mA output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT B/C jacks.
Each input can be set to output a control signal in any
case of "Main (playback in the main room)", "Zone2 or
Zone 3 (playback in Zone 2 (or Zone 3))", "Main/Zone2
or Main/Zone3 (playback in the main room/Zone 2 (or
Zone 3))", "Zone2/Zone3 (playback in Zone 2/Zone 3)"
or "All (playback in the main room/Zone 2/Zone 3)". For
connection, use a monaural mini plug cable.
